Hi @MarkWR2,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're unable to connect your HP LaserJet M15w to your MacBook after switching to a new router, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot the connection.

Check Printer and Router Connections:

• Ensure that your printer is powered on.
• Confirm that your new router is working and the Wi-Fi network is active.

Connect Printer to Wi-Fi:

• Via the Printer's Control Panel:
  1. Press the Wireless button on the printer (or use the printer's control panel) to activate wireless setup mode.
  2. Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the wireless light starts blinking.
  3. Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your MacBook and connect it to the same Wi-Fi network as your new router.
  4. On the printer, select your network name (SSID) and enter the password if prompted. The printer should now connect to your new Wi-Fi network.
• Using HP Smart App:
  1. Download and install the HP Smart app on your MacBook if you haven't already.
  2. Open the app, select Set Up a New Printer, and follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi.

Update Printer Settings:

• Once connected to the Wi-Fi network, try adding the printer to your MacBook.
  • Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
  • Click the + sign and select your printer from the list to add it.

Test Connection:

• Try printing a test page to verify the connection.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
